14世纪中期,“道德上软弱”,来自古法语 fraile, frele “虚弱的,脆弱的,病弱的”(12世纪,现代法语 frêle),源自拉丁语 fragilis “易碎的”(来自 PIE 词根 *bhreg- “打破”)。它是 fragile 的法国化形式。英语中“容易被摧毁,易碎”的意义来自14世纪末。美国俚语名词“女人”的意思可追溯至1908年; 也许是因为知道莎士比亚的“脆弱,你的名字是女人”。
Middle English frele, frayle, borrowed from Anglo-French frel, fraile, going back to Latin fragilis "liable to break, weak" — more at fragile
